Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Disregard for my elderly mother
Dear Dr. Rivera,I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the recent experience my mother had during her appt with you last Wednesday. She sought medical attention due to severe asthma symptoms, including wheezing, coughing, congestion, and a sensation of breathlessness. Although she only met with the PA, my mother requested testing for COVID-19, flu, and RSV. It has now been five days since her appt, and we are still awaiting the results. My mother has been diligently calling the office for the past three days, yet no information has been provided. We were informed that there is no in-house lab, which has added to our frustration. What is particularly upsetting is the response from your office staff, who dismissed her concerns by stating that not receiving the results is 'not a big deal' since it was probably just the common flu. As my mother is 82 years old and was very ill when she sought care, this level of negligence and indifference to her health is unacceptable.
